I installed GHC 6.10.3 then ran this installer. What's a good test?
Annoyingly you can't copy and paste into GHCi 6.10.3 on Windows!
Trying :m Graphics.UI.Gtk and
initGUI>>windowNew>>=widgetShowAll>>mainGUI shows a window.
At first I just had "Haskell Platform" and some older GHC installs.
The gtk2hs installer didn't detect the Haskell Platform GHC - when
Haskell Platform 2009.2.1 comes out what will the procedure be to
install gtk2hs?
I got a warning about my Graphviz GTK libraries being in PATH - I hope
this is, in principle, solvable? Could the GTK libraries be loaded by
full path?

Thanks. I tested it on the same machine I used to build it, so I just
wanted to make sure nothing major was broken.

Hmm, not sure. I'll have to take a look at that.

Windows looks on the PATH to try to find DLLs. If you have copies of
the GTK libs in multiple PATH directories, you might have problems. I
don't know if there's a way to specify the full path to the libraries,
if that's what you're asking. I think it checks the directory the
executable is located in before any other directory, though. If
you're not having any problems, though, I wouldn't worry about it.
